Nepal will use the 81st UN General Assembly to press its case for climate justice, highlighting Himalayan disasters and calling for grants, bankable projects, and stronger climate diplomacy. The article argues that Nepal needs permanent negotiators, better scientific data, and a regional mountain alliance to turn its claims into real funding and policy gains.
